Question : 10 of 26
Marks: +1, -0
Use Kirchhoff's rules to obtain conditions for the balance condition in a Wheatstone bridge.
Solution:  
Obtaining condition for the balance Wheatstone bridge
Applying Kirchoff's loop rule to closed loop ADBA
−I1R1+0+I2R2=0(Ig=0)-I_1 R_1+0+I_2 R_2=0 (I_g=0) .......(i)
For loop CBDC
−I2R4+0+I1R3=0-I_2 R_4+0+I_1 R_3=0 .......(ii)
⇒\Rightarrow from equation (i)
  I1I2=  R1R2\;\frac{I_1}{I_2}=\;\frac{R_1}{R_2}
From equation (ii)
  I1I2  =  R4R3\;\frac{I_1}{I_2}\;=\;\frac{R_4}{R_3}
∴      R1R2  =  R4R3\therefore \;\; \;\frac{R_1}{R_2}\;=\;\frac{R_4}{R_3}
